In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

62:1

يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ ﴿١﴾

Yusabbiḥu lillāhi mā fī as-samāwāti wamā fī al-arḍi al-maliki al-quddūsi al-ʿazīzi al-ḥakīm

All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, the Mighty, the Wise.

62:2

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٢﴾

Huwa alladhī baʿatha fī al-ummiyyīna rasūlan minhum yatlū ʿalayhim āyātihi wayuzakkīhim wayuʿallimuhumu al-kitāba wal-ḥikmata waʾin kānū min qablu lafī ḍalālin mubīn

He it is Who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom, though heretofore they were indeed in error manifest,

62:3

وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِمْ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿٣﴾

Waʾākharīna minhum lammā yalḥaqū bihim wahuwa al-ʿazīzu al-ḥakīm

Along with others of them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

62:4

ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٤﴾

Dhālika faḍlu Allāhi yuʾtīhi man yashāʾu wallāhu dhū al-faḍli al-ʿaẓīm

That is the bounty of Allah; which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is of Infinite Bounty.

62:5

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًۢا ۚ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٥﴾

Mathalu alladhīna ḥummilū at-tawrāta thumma lam yaḥmilūhā kamathali al-ḥimāri yaḥmilu asfāran biʾsa mathalu al-qawmi alladhīna kadhdhabū biʾāyāti Allāhi wallāhu lā yahdī al-qawma aẓ-ẓālimīn

The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is the likeness of folk who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

62:6

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓا۟ إِن زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٦﴾

Qul yā ayyuhā alladhīna hādū in zaʿamtum annakum aliyāʾu lillāhi min dūni an-nāsi fatamannawu al-mawta in kuntum ṣādiqīn

Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful.

62:7

وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُۥٓ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٧﴾

Walā yatamannawnahu abadan bimā qaddamat aydīhim wallāhu ʿalīmun biẓ-ẓālimīn

But they will never long for it because of all that their own hands have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers.

62:8

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَـٰقِيكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٨﴾

Qul inna al-mawta alladhī tafirrūna minhu faʾinnahu mulāqīkum thumma turaddūna ilā ʿālimi al-ghaybi wash-shahādati fayunabbiʾukum bimā kuntum taʿmalūn

Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! the death from which ye shrink will surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.

62:9

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٩﴾

Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū idhā nūdiya lilṣṣalāti min yawmi al-jumuʿati fāsʿaw ilā dhikri Allāhi wadharū al-bayʿa dhālikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taʿlamūn

O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the day of congregation, haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.

62:10

فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ فَٱنتَشِرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

Faʾidhā quḍiyati aṣ-ṣalātu fāntashirū fī al-arḍi wābtaghū min faḍli Allāhi wādhkurū Allāha kathīran laʿallakum tufliḥūn

And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful.

62:11

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ تِجَـٰرَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا ٱنفَضُّوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمًا ۚ قُلْ مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَـٰرَةِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ﴿١١﴾

Waʾidhā raʾaw tijāratan aw lahwan infaḍḍū ilayhā watarakūka qāʾiman qul mā ʿinda Allāhi khayrun mina allahwi wamina at-tijārati wallāhu khayru ar-rāziqīn

But when they spy some merchandise or pastime they break away to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is better than pastime and than merchandise, and Allah is the Best of providers.
